By commercecook

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 6 ounces grated Gruyere cheese
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 4 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a shallow 3 quart baking dish. I used a 9x13. In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, 5-7 minutes. Add cream, milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg, thyme and bring to a simmer.

Add potatoes to saucepan, and simmer, stirring occasionally until tender - 20-25 minutes.

Transfer potato mixture to prepared baking dish, sprinkle with Guyere.

Bake until bubbling and golden brown 20-25 minutes.
